EFF forcibly removed from Parliament again
EFF parliamentarians have been thrown out of the National Assembly for the second time in as many weeks.
The EFF had been demanding that disciplinary action be taken against President Jacob Zuma in light of the findings of the Constitutional Court.
Speaker Baleka Mbete has called out the names of all EFF MPs whom she had asked to withdraw from the House moments before they were forcibly removed by the Parliamentary Protection Services.
The Economic Freedom Fighters collided with the officers in a brawl as the members were being escorted out the House.
EFF leader, Julius Malema called for Mbete not to allow Zuma to address the house.
While, Mbete said she would not allow any further points of order in order to continue with the question and answer session.
Below, eNCA shared this footage of the brawl in the National Assembly.
